Default HYPOTHETICAL costs

In winter, a resident must pay $57 to golf Palmer; $39 OBH. Let's just use $50 as average (in prime time of day too). In summer we can play any of these for $6 after 5PM. A little more earlier in day.

So ask yourself, would you pay $50 for 4 hours of INDOOR pool use in January? And, no you can't buy it at $12.50 per hour; just like golf where you must pay for 18 holes in prime time, you must pay for 4 hours at the pool at a time.

I'm not saying I think it could be done for $50, just looking for some perspective. I actually think it would be more!
